<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do any of your organizations have a formal protocol outlining the use of specimens that may contain hazardous materials (i.e. arsenic, formalin) by staff or researchers who are pregnant? We had a request from a visiting researcher who is
pregnant to work in the bird skin collection which does contain arsenic. Unfortunately our institutional chemical hygiene protocol for arsenic does not address pregnancy.

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any suggestions or copies of protocols if available.<o:p></o:p></p>
